GB - NORFOLK: Norwich Cathedral Interior


The choir stalls of Norwich Cathedral were designed for the Benedictine Monks with seats known as misericords, which gave support to the elderly or sick during long services. The wooden seats are carved with animals and birds and with medieval scenes. One of the Cathedral's most noticeable features is the Saxon Bishop’s throne. It was brought from North Elmham by the Normans and placed behind the high alter, where its stone fragments can be seen today, underneath the modern wooden throne.
